144144If you’ve ever been frustrated by a relationship and you have a twisted, but healthy sense of humor, then Chris Valenti is the artist for you. Chris takes his romantic failures and frustrations personally and pours them out to you straight from his wry, twisted heart. Valenti's songs of struggles, blunders, and missed opportunities radiate the painfully funny universal suffering we all endure.
His show is part music, part comedy, part therapy, and part romance - as well as action, adventure, mystery and sometimes horror. A philosopher of love - usually, the kind of love that did not exactly make it to that 'happily ever after' place, Chris writes and performs songs that touch upon the common truths of the humorous lives of single people.
Songs like Passive Aggressive, about the cute little problems that get blown out of proportion in every sweet, loving relationship, and The Ghost of Your Ex, about dates who can't stop talking about their ex-boyfriends, strike close to home for those who can not reel in the full attention of their present partner. Don't Pass Out is a plea and warning to men and women everywhere to curb excessive drinking, especially on first dates. The upcoming album includes It's Hard to Find Someone Good Enough For Me, which nails the single person's core issue head on - and was featured on The Dr. Phil Show – and Everyone Can Be Replaced, a positive look at the end of relationships. Most shows end with Chris's new approach to women, Booty Call.
A hopeful romantic with a wry sense of humor, Chris has the knack for using self-deprecation and vulnerability to write songs about the hazards and frustrations of love and attempted relationships. He’s become the cheerful motivator for the unlucky in love, because the best cure for a broken heart is laughing at someone else's.Chris ValentiChris Valentichris@chrisvalentimusic.netnonoSubTexthttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/chrisvalentimusic/~3/0uTgfY1R-LU/

This is other short film I made, along with The Exchange, with the funds from the Kickstarter campaign we did back in 2013!! It played at a number of film festivals.

Great cast includes Leilani Wyatt, Kerry Liu, Alejandra Morin, Kristine Kreska, Jimi Yamagishi, Steve Pellegren, Emily Banks, and many more. Much thanks to Nathan Paul, Chad Kukahiko, Sam Mestman, Sam Rosenthal, and all the other terrific folks at the We Make Movies film collective.

My short film “February” (also known as “The Honesty Trial“) will have its world premiere this Friday at the Burbank International Film Festival as 1/12 of the feature film “TWELVE” http://www.itsmyseat.com/events/340453.html

From what I’ve seen of it, this feature film turned out to be pretty darn impressive – I have to say. So many of the other short films in this collaboration are just terrific. I’m very excited to be a part of this thing!

Wed, 10 Jun 2015 18:21:09 +0000http://chrisvalentimusic.net/?p=692Proud to have DIRECTION’s world premiere at the 18th Dances With Film festival, held at Hollywood’s Chinese Theater.

Celebrate Valenti’nes Day with me at Genghis Cohen this Saturday night. Bring your loved one (or your lack-of one) and I’ll serenade you with love songs so heartfelt and sweet it’s criminal. If you know me at all, you know I’ve never been heartbroken or bitter. And this soft tenderness comes through in every song I’ve ever written for any loved one.

And if you’re wondering…. yes, we’ll have sex after.

SENSITIVE JOHNSON screening – Sunday, March 8th, 8pm – Three of Clubs, 1123 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90038. The film collective We Make Movies will be screening the feature film I wrote and shot a decade ago. It went to about 20 festivals and features a slew of terrific actors who, well, look really young. It’s the first public screening since 2007. The film has been called a cult classic, unfortunately I may be the only one in that cult. Join Me!!!!
